The quality of lives of 1,039 primary school children will be improved through this project being conducted in partnership with Tanzanian NGO MAMADO.  The project will improve the students' access to clean drinking water, safe (sanitary) toilets and will provide health education on the importance of hand washing.  

Currently the school's rain water harvesting system (roof catchments) is not functioning.  The other water source, a tap connected to the town's water supply, is working but the water is contaminated and passing disease to children who use it.  Furthermore the toilet block is collapsing, has no doors, and has no water for students to wash their hands. 

PROJECT OBJECTIVES

• To facilitate a sustainable and safe water flow
• To reduce the outbreak of water related diseases due to poor hygiene and sanitation practices
• To improve sanitation in the school and promote hygiene education
• To build the capacity of teachers and school committee in project management, operations & maintenance of water and sanitation facilities

PROJECT OUTPUTS

• Rehabilitation of both rain water harvesting and clean water flow through taps at the school
• School sanitation facilities renovated
• School health clubs established and trained, pupils trained to take messages to parents
• The school community made aware of preventing the spread of water and sanitation related diseases
• The school board and teachers sustainably trained on the ongoing management of water and sanitation services

HAT is committed to best practice project management, based on the Project Management Life Cycle (Initiation, Planning, Execution, and Closure).

We will only send money raised through fundraising events to Tanzania when we have negotiated and jointly signed a project agreement with our relevant Tanzanian partner NGO.  This helps ensure that projects are delivered within budget and that milestones are reported against. 

HAT's commitment to high quality project management will stand the charity in good stead when we apply to the Australian Taxation Office for DGR status, which will mean that donations and other gifts to HAT will be tax-deductable for residents of Australia.
